How Long Will Be Too Long

Words: michael w. smith and wayne kirkpatrick

Music: michael w. smith



(tell me) how long will we grovel at the feet of wealth and power

(tell me) how long will we bow down to that golden calf

How long will be too long

(tell me) how long will we curtsy to the whims of new religion

How long will we water down the truth

'til truth is no more

How long will be too long

Chorus:

The power of faith and love

Can change the stuff we're made of

But still we wait

(tell me) how long will be too long



(tell me) how long will we drink from the chalice of indifference

Neither be hot or be cold

Can a sober soul know

How long will be too long



Chorus:

Is there not more to us

Than cursed dust to dust

I feel my hope fading

How long will be too long



How long will be too long



(tell me) how long will we travel from the ways that god intended

Won't it all tumble down if his holy wrath comes

How long will be too long



Chorus:

The power of faith and love

Can change the stuff we're made of

When will it be too late

How long will be too long

How long will be too long

How long will be too long
